The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History Book: The Simpsons is one of the most successful shows to ever run on television. From its first moment on air, the series' rich characters, subversive themes, and layered humor resounded deeply with audiences both young and old. John Ortved's oral history will be the first-ever look behind the scenes at the creation and day-to-day running of The Simpsons, as told by many of the people who made it: among them writers, animators, producers, and network executives. Like the family it depicts, the show's creative forces have been riven by dysfunction from the get-go—outsize egos clashing with studio executives and one another over credit for and control of a pop-culture institution. The Simpsons did not spring out of one man's brain, fully formed, like a hilarious Athena. Its inception was a process, with many parents, and this book tells the story. By John Ortved. This book may have a small Remainder Mark. EAN: 9780865479883
